Hi all,

I am new in PADS PowerPCB. And I have a problem in measuring the distance between the two primitives? Is anyone there can help me. Thanks

The quickest way is to move your cursor to the first object, hit q, then enter, then move your cursor to whereever you want to measure to.

Hi all,

I want to measure the distance between center to center of pads, but the problem is that it doesn't snap at the center of the pads of components, is there a way to snap the cursor at the center of the pads.
Thanks.:!:
